I agree that the AR is much more versatile... however, the .223/5.56 round is FAR inferior for use in the battlespace. More & more reports from the field are indicating HT's taking direct hits from the M-16/M-4 platform and simply keep coming.

This is from what I gather as longer shooting distances in the desert, PLUS our guys being armed with the carbine version of the weapon. Easier to handle, but for the purpose I think they should have kept most everyone out there with the 20" barrel. Of course clearing houses is more difficult with the longer barrel.
Just get the 6.8mm upper and you'll fix all those concerns.
